Use the static member function CFile::Remove. Please refer to Visual C++
help documentation for examples and details.

You need to close the file before deletion, of course.

Please note that I do not endorse excessive cross-posting. Thank you.

.... or the "DeleteFile" Win32 API, or the "_unlink" C RTL function, or
probably any one of several other methods!

One way:
int _unlink( const char *filename );

Another way:
int remove( const char *path );

Assuming you're using C/C++, you would do it exactly the same as
you would do it on any other computer, any other operating system,
using the ANSI C function:
remove("filename");
(or 'unlink')

Try the cunningly hidden DeleteFile API.
